Website Redesign & Content Strategy
Empowering Rhode Island donors to not only give, but give well
Client: Rhode Island Foundation
Project Details
I've had a relationship with the Rhode Island Foundation that spans more than ten years. Back with my former employer, Envision, I led a redesign engagement from inception to implementation that included project discovery and goals defining, information architecture, wireframes, designs, and development.
User-experience and content strategy played a foundational role in the new website. Using insights from analytics and user tracking, we were able to significantly reduce the amount of pages (as compared to the previous website) by more than half. By eliminating the clutter, we were able to create a simple, yet beautiful website with clear, concise, and engaging messaging.

Website Redesign
Helping EPI advocate for policies that improve economic security and opportunity for Rhode Islanders.
Client: The Economic Progress Institute
Project Details
EPI's previous Wordpress site was outdated and wildly cluttered with old content and publications.
With a full site redesign and architecture makeover, we were able to unveil a reimagined website. Built on top of Craft CMS, the new site is efficient and easy-to-manage so the EPI team can worry less about the website, and shift their focus to more important matters at hand.

Who's behind Foundation QB, and what makes us different?
Hey, I'm Nick, a designer headquartered just southwest of Boston, Massachusetts. I have spent 20+ years refining my craft which includes everything from digital design and branding to engaging marketing collateral, logos, and print design. An extensive career has allowed me to collaborate with a diverse array of clients, from industry giants like HBO and the Boston Bruins to local nonprofits and Community Foundations.
Above all, I enjoy collaborating with Community Foundations and Nonprofits. And that's why Foundation QB was born. Dating back to 2011, I’ve designed and consulted on close to 100 Community Foundations websites throughout North America. Working with Foundations has always proved to be the most rewarding projects. You're naturally passionate about the work you do for your community and that motivates me to work harder for you.
All designs are created from scratch with thoughtful attention to detail. So if you're looking for someone to step in and take your website and designs to the next level, someone you can trust, someone you can build a long-lasting relationship with, you've come to the right place.
